I totally respected his service to this country. But he made a serious blunder on Iraq and never atoned for his misjudgment which lead to war.
Politics was not his strong suit.
RIP I don't know how I feel about all that. Either he was given bad info and believed it, or knew it was bad info and went with it, but I tend to think either way he was acting at the request of Bush (read Cheney) to lay the footing for war. I think some could argue he was being a loyal soldier to the Commander in Chief I don't think Colin Powell (at that time) was the kind of guy that would call up China and tell them to ignore the president. Clearly Powell soured on being used by Bush/Cheney and then he went all in on Obama. Lost alot of conservative supporters who helped bolster his career up to that point. You summed his story pretty well.

Thank God he was smart enough to get vaccinated.
I can only imagine how dead he’d be without it.

Ask Scooter Libby what he thinks of Powell.
Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

I thank him for his service. His disservice overshadows that.

A Liberal Socialist Democrat is a Liberal Socialist Democrat.
He was a tool..
A willing tool to be used.
When the currents changed and he left public life.
His true liberal Socialist Democrat self was revealed full blown. True that. I remember reading some of his first comments in print when that happened. I thought to myself: What happened to that guy? As time went on, I realized probably nothing..

Generals like everyone else are subject to society. What society finds acceptable is often how far people will go.

Let’s thank John Brennan for his magnificent service while we are at it.
And don’t forget Ol’ James Comey.

I can only imagine how dead he’d be without it. Vaccine's probably what killed him. But, you know, "Covid".

My thoughts exactly as to some who say that view is extreme just look at what the left said about Trump, and all who support him.
There are no problems that cannot be resolved by the suitable application of high explosive.

Yep, Covid. Imagine how much worse it would have been if he hadn’t been vaccinated. ROFLMAO That was spectacular, thanks, but you own me a keyboard.

I thank him for his service. Powell himself admitted he was an unqualified affirmative action general. How many innocent people were killed by his lies? He was a political animal who pushed us into a needless wars. may he rot in hell

Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively...
Having said that, MAGA.
